Chapter 1741 Asked for It
Eva remained silent. She had that talk with Louie the night before. “Eva, you’re beautiful enough to marry any other wealthy man you want. You don’t have to obsess over Louie.” Lucy took a step back and pleaded, “Please. I don’t want to make things ugly, especially not with the Gilmores.”
Eva met Lucy’s eyes as she said icily, “But he doesn’t like you.” Lucy’s face fell. “What did you say? How did you know that?”
“Because he told me I’m the only one he loves. He won’t fall for anyone else. Not ever,” Eva answered calmly. “Miss Constantine, you won’t be happy marrying a man who doesn’t love you.” “How can you be sure he doesn’t like me?”
“I’ve known him for years. He fell for me five years ago and has been waiting for me to return his feelings since then. I’m not trying to brag, but he really loves me.” Eva was trying to dissuade Lucy from pressing on with the marriage.
She couldn’t leave him behind now, not when the alternative was… this woman. If Louie would hold on, then so would she.
“Why you…” Lucy’s face turned red from anger. She would’ve laughed it off had any other woman said that, but not Eva. Lucy knew whatever she said was the truth, after all. “Eva, beauty fades with age. He won’t stay in love with you once you lose your beauty.”
Eva blinked. “But at least he still likes me now. Anyway, I’ll be taking my leave now. I’m busy.” With that, she got up and left.
Lucy was left alone, feeling humiliated. She’s showing off, huh? “I bet he won’t stay in love with you if you lose that pretty face of yours.” Just then, her face was contorted with envy. And I’m going to ruin that face.
